I thought I'd died and been thrust back into the cheapest bowels of 1980's BBC light entertainment. Or Hell or both. The only thing that worked effectively was the ability of Mr.Wright's stressed monotonous voice was to stress me. The humour was unsophisticated and dated. I had to Google this, was it really written by Ben Elton? I know we are re-living the 80's in some ways these days but this is too much. More laboured than Labour Mr. Elton...*shakes head*..pass the paracetamol and turn the light out as you leave...
SHOUTY SHOUTY David Haig, shouty shouty shout, overacting, overacting, overacting, poorly dropped in observational humour, bad bad bad canned laughter, politically correct box ticked in the first 10 seconds with blatant explaining of his daughter living with her lesbian partner. The usual shower of ridiculous middle class charicatures we are used to seeing in BBC sh*tcoms.
Ben Elton, retire with some dignity, oh dear, too late.
BBC / GOLD stop giving David Haig lead roles in comedies, he isn't funny and his ridiculous shouty overacting would cancel out any comedy in the script, if there were any, which there isn't.
To summarise in the style of the daughter's lesbian partner, "duh!! Hash tag load of crap, hash tag beneltonstoppedbeingfunnyaround1994"
